Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless current local guidance says otherwise. The airport sits under Class B airspace. Watch your speeds on arrival and departure. That matters here.

If you need current operational details, confirm them with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go.
